Abstract

The present invention relates to sorbants such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) or porous polymer networks (PPNs) for separations of gases or liquids, gas storage, cooling, and heating applications, including, but not limited to, adsorption chillers.

Claims (11)

1. An adsorbent combination comprising a metal-organic-framework selected from the group consisting of CuBTC, MDODBC, FMOF-2CU, MIL-101(Cr), MIL-100(Fe), CoCo, ZnCo, and LZnPYCl where M is selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ni, Zn, or Co and a working fluid selected from the group consisting of HFO, HCFO, and mixtures thereof.

2. An adsorption chiller system comprising the adsorbent combination of claim 1 .

3. An adsorption chiller system comprising the adsorbent combination of claim 1 in combination with a refrigerant compressor or expander components.

4. An adsorption chiller system comprising more than one adsorbent combination of claim 1 arranged in a parallel or series configuration.

5. An adsorption chiller system comprising at least one adsorbent combination of claim 1 in a heat engine configuration.

6. The adsorption chiller system of claim 5 wherein said heat engine configuration comprises at least one microchannel heat exchanger.

7. An adsorption chiller system of claim 4 designed to produce output temperature suitable for but not limited to refrigeration, freezing, and cryogenic cooling.

8. The adsorbent combination of claim 1 wherein the HFO is selected from the group consisting of pentafluoropropenes (HFO1225), tetrafluoropropenes (HFO1234), trifluoropropenes (HFO1243), all tetrafluorobutene isomers (HFO1354), all pentafluorobutene isomers (HFO345), all hexafluorobutene isomers (HFO336), all heptafluorobutene isomers (HFO1327), all heptafluoropentene isomers (HFO1447), all octafluoropentene isomers (HFO1438), all nonafluoropentene isomers (HFO1429), and mixtures thereof).

9. The adsorbent combination of claim 1 wherein the HFO is selected from the group consisting of trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (trans-HFO-1234ze); 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf), (cis and/or trans)-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluorobutene (HFO-1336mzz), and mixtures thereof.

10. The adsorbent combination of claim 1 wherein the HCFO is a chlorotrifluoropropene.

11. The adsorbent working combination of claim 1 wherein the HCFO is trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (trans-HCFO-1233zd).
